Study Plan
Dear Officer;
I grew up in an entreprenerial environment where my extended family members lived nearby and engaged in new business activities and ventures that began to emerge as the Chinese economy first adopted a more free market approach.
In 1980s, my father and grandfather started and ran xx business in my hometown of xx. In the 1990s, the whole family consisting of eight people (my family of three, xxx) moved to xxx, where they started a xx company. My father and aunt ran the company together for 7 years. In 1998 my aunt immigrated to the West and my father took responsibility for managing all aspects of the business until 2004 when it was bought out and merged with a larger company where he is working for as their xx.
I was only eight years old when our family moved to xx in1993 to take advantage of business opportunities in this newly declared “Special Development Zone”. It was a big challenge for me. Perhaps like someone in Canada moving from the Northwest Territories to the heart of Toronto. In my case there was also a new language to learn as well, Cantonese instead of my native Mandarin. But I caught on quickly and it didn't take long for me to become fluent in Cantonese and be able to participate in my classes. As in many other things, I find myself a very adaptable person and a quick learner.
Growing up in a family business environment, I have been working part time since I was ten years old, from assembling computers to assisting with graphic design. With an entrepreneurial spirit instilled in me, I look forward to developing the business skills necessary to both manage our family investments here in China and seek out new business opportunities of my own.
After I graduated from the xx School in xx in 2002, I began working for a computer company in Shenzhen. I was fortunate that I had some interaction with the top managers of the company and have come to realize that enthusiasm and hard work are only part of the story. One must equip oneself with the best educational tools available to be successful in an increasingly complex and inter-related world. So I decided to go back to school. I enrolled in xx Science and Technology Institute to study computer programming. It helps me to develop strong technical skills and also great training in Science and Technology. But in the current Chinese labor market, I could land a job offer with my new acquired technical skills, but it is hard for me to really stand out. I realize that English language skills, Western Management techniques and strong Accounting and Finance skills are necessary to give me credibility and a competitive advantage and take me to a higher ground in the more and more competitive Chinese labor market.
China holds great opportunities for workers with strong academic credentials. In discussions with both my parents here in China and Aunt in the USA, we all agree that the opportunity to study abroad for several years would help me to obtain the important skills and experience necessary to be successful in a more globally oriented China.
After extensive research, I decided to enroll in xxx College's Bachelor program of Business Administration with an Accounting major. Among the schools, xxx College stood out for its relatively small size, quality programs, excellent location and their expertise in working with International students.
An Accounting major will help me to understand business operations inside out. Principles of Accounting and Finance as taught in the West are far more sophisticated than what is taught in China. After I complete my program, I would return to xx and join my father in managing our family business interests. Perhaps at some point seeking out a new business opportunity of my own.
My parents and family members are very supportive and will provide 100% of all my tuition and living expenses in Canada. In their mind, education is the best investment and the best gift they can give to their only child. My aunt jz who received her MBA from the University of xx is a strong proponent of the advantages of Western educational institutions. And both her and her husband have also offered to provide financial support.
I am very excited about the prospect of studying at xx College. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Sincerely yours
